The World's Call

Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. -Abraham Heschel

It’s not about the color black and white

Or even the parties gathered at the night

The symbolic flags and a country's Divine

Is not the mere basis or such triumph sign

 

Unity is a word that rarely can be achieved

For the bias judgment is culled in their crib

Wars were created yet compromise was not

And the reigning prejudice is still on the plot

 

They say we live in a self-named democracy

Yet where is the justice against this impiety?

Till a crow turns white or the stars go down?

Till the tarnished regime is hailed with crown

 

As the nations wait for the righteous revision

For racism is sometimes a misread perception

They say fairness is just easier said than done

Yet the world must believe that we can be one

[Coyote Poetry]

Equality is a on going battle. This USA government like to create ghosts and hate to blind the USA citizen from the truth. We will pay 460 billion on interest on our deficit. We have one in six with not enough food. 1.2 trillion on war. Easy to find a race to blame. Only terror we should fear is a government that wants to control all things. I pray in the next election we kick out the dead weight and bring in leaders who have concern for hunger, education and peace. A powerful poem. Made old Coyote think.

Heavy subject and well written ..Equality..seems so simple..yet elusive...since the beginning of man there has never been true equality..there will always be a few who want power for the sake of power.. and yet in spite of power hungry people..there is good blossoming..and bits of walls falling every day...
